    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    TIERCEL

    This morning when he wakes up, Tiercel thinks about how unnecessarily cold it is and following that, thinks “It’s time.”

    Time to leave the wandering path behind him. Try on something new, maybe. He can’t keep himself warm with wings like his family does, and he resents the way his golden-blue clan wears them like colorful cloaks anyways. Of all the hatchlings in Wolfbane and Lepis’ brood only Tiercel had been flightless. At first he’d been so jealous; he thinks that emotion ate him up and hardened him. Now he’s sorely indifferent. If he came across another winged creature he doubts it would affect him.

    Only when it concerns his family does the thought taste like a sour note on the back of his tongue. Forcefully, he pushes all thoughts of them and their ongoings out of his mind. Moving on legs that were already much longer than his father and mother’s, Tiercel treads east from the riverlands and blinks away a restless night. Crisp and somewhat misty, the early winter morning around him draws a shiver or two along his spine.

    He’d rather not be stopped, or stop for anyone on the way. He’d rather be nothing, and so nothing is exactly what he becomes by drawing up the hood of his invisibility and slipping like an unseen wraith across the short expanse between the place he leaves behind him and the Field he’s heading towards.

    When he arrives the early chirp of a few, lasting birds is just beginning to ripen what will be the end of the nice Winter days. Their songs are shrill; the test of a harsh season seems to give the melody a frantic sort of edge. Stopping to admire the quiet emptiness of this place, Tiercel sighs and drops his magic in one swoop. He blinks into existence like the snap of one’s fingers, suddenly -there- when he hadn’t been before.

    Smiling, the young stallion breathes in and exhales out a wave of pure, sedate tranquility as far as it will go.

    The birds fall silent, lulled by his gift.

    It's the same way you showed me // Nod my head, don't close my eyes



    @Any kingdom/Territory/Herd except for Taiga lmao. Loess would probably not work either, sorry.
    Your character is free to experience his forced emotion of tranquility or be out of its range entirely. Up to you!
